Published Aug 29, 2008

The football team will begin the season against a conference opponent, the New Mexico Lobos, for the first time since 2003 when they beat Tulane 38-35 as members of Conference USA.

Head coach Gary Patterson knows starting the season on the road against a conference opponent isn't easy.



"Starting off the season with a conference game against a team like New Mexico will be quite a challenge," Patterson said. "Playing against a conference opponent on the road is always tough. We understand that it is going to be a very good crowd and a loud crowd."

The soccer team remained undefeated and with no goals against after a 3-0 win over the Xavier Musketeers.

Another two goal performance from freshman Jordan Calhoun lifted the Frogs to their second victory in as many games. Calhoun's first goal came unassisted in the 17th minute beginning the Frog's scoring. She netted her second goal with two seconds remaining in the half off a hard return header into the box from freshman Alex Mechalske. A swift chip into the bottom left corner put the Frogs up 2-0 going into the half.

Clinton’s convention speech effective in unifying Party

Published Aug 29, 2008

Hillary Clinton's Tuesday night speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver was as effective as her gaudy, orange pant-suit. It kept my attention, served its purpose and was aesthetically disturbing.

It all began with a stunning video homage to the former first lady's life work followed by a heartfelt introduction by daughter Chelsea Clinton, whom I actually had the opportunity to speak with when she came to campus last semester.
